Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Seeing this scene that resembled a living hell, whether it was Senis and Cliff, who came from the Holy Kingdom of Milis, or Alina Lige and Paul, who were unfamiliar with the Holy Kingdom of Milis, their faces were all equally grim.

Regardless of whether they are from this religious country or not, seeing humans being devoured by monsters will inevitably touch their hearts.

Senis and Cliff, in particular, were in extremely bad spirits and their emotions were becoming increasingly urgent.

One of them was worried about his mother and sister, while the other was worried about his grandfather. Seeing the current state of the Holy Kingdom of Milis, they were naturally even more concerned about the safety of their families.

“Senes, don’t worry too much. Didn’t you say before that your mother is a very powerful person, and your sister is also the captain of the Temple Knights?”

Even if the capital falls because of this, they shouldn't be so easily devoured by magical beasts.

Seeing his wife's low spirits, the scumbag Paul couldn't help but speak up to comfort her.

He could completely understand Senis's feelings right now. Two years ago, when the "Great Transfer" happened, Paul's emotions were similar to Senis's now when he faced his separated family.

In fact, he himself didn't quite believe the words he used to comfort Senis.

Judging from the level and number of monsters they encountered along the way, the beast tide that the Holy Kingdom of Milis was facing this time was probably much larger in intensity and scale than they had imagined.

The areas they passed through were not even the main disaster-stricken areas. One can only imagine the situation in the Holy Capital of Milis, which was receiving special attention.

If the Latorea family knew how to fight and retreat, that would be fine, but if they chose to stay in the capital and fight the beast tide to the death...

Considering Senis and Cliff's emotions, Rudy and his team increased their pace again, and half a day later, they finally arrived at the capital of the Holy Kingdom of Milis.

The city wall, almost half collapsed, and the massive city gate, smashed to pieces, undoubtedly prove that a fierce battle once took place here. Unfortunately, the defending humans ultimately failed to withstand the onslaught of the beast tide.

"Roar------!"

Almost the instant Rudy and his group entered the city, a magical beast that had been wandering nearby roared and pounced on them when it saw a large group of "food" suddenly appear in front of it.

Unfortunately, the monster clearly didn't expect that the group in front of it wasn't "delicious food" at all, but rather hard bones that would knock out its teeth.

Before its gaping maw could even bite anyone, Rudy's backhand "rock cannonball" pierced through its head.

Chapter 496 Suddenly Hearing Information from a God

"We've only just entered the city, and monsters are already showing up. Is the monster density in the city still that high?"

Seeing the monster's corpse, its head pierced and clearly dead, Rudy couldn't help but ask a question, somewhat puzzled.

Meanwhile, Paul and his companions, who were more knowledgeable about monsters and had more adventure experience, relaxed considerably upon seeing the monster's gruesome death.

Seeing Rudy's puzzled expression, Paul took the initiative to explain: "Generally speaking, monsters launch a beast tide because of some kind of trigger."

This opportunity could be something that attracts them, or it could be other factors such as food.

Once a certain goal is achieved, the beast tide will subside, and the monsters that have gathered together will disperse on their own.

If such a high density of magical beasts is still gathered in the city, it means there are still many survivors. These beasts are unwilling to leave unless they have sufficient food.

Upon hearing Paul's explanation, Rudy instantly understood. This meant that there were still many survivors in the capital. The Latoria family was one of the top families in the Holy Kingdom of Milis, so his maternal grandmother Claire and aunt Therese had a very high chance of surviving.

"Gentlemen, are you also going to the Latoria family for refuge?"

"Could you please take us with you? Although the Latorrea family is also in this city, there are quite a few magical beasts along the way, and we simply cannot break through."

Just as Rudy swiftly defeated the monster that had suddenly attacked them, and the group was preparing to split up and head to the church and Latorrea's house respectively, several figures suddenly emerged from the dilapidated building nearby and pleaded with Paul and the others.

Without a doubt, these people who suddenly appeared were also citizens of the Holy Kingdom of Milis, and they were able to escape the beast tide because they hid in time.

With their food reserves dwindling and the monsters refusing to leave, these people had already given up hope.

To their utter surprise, just when they were about to despair, Rudy and his adventurer team suddenly appeared before them and displayed considerable strength.

But judging from Rudy's magic that instantly killed that magical beast, it was clear that the adventurers in front of them were at least high-level adventurers.

Coincidentally, these people also seemed to be heading to Latorrea's house, which led to the scene before us.

"That's great, the Latorrea family is indeed still safe."

"But if you want to seek asylum, you should go to the church, shouldn't you? What can you do at the Latorrea's house?"

Hearing what these people in distress said, Senis asked with a strange expression.

As the second daughter of the Latorrea family, Senis naturally knew a lot about her family, even though she had been away from home for many years.

In the entire capital of Milis, the most powerful organization is probably the church where the Milis Order is located, which has a pope, temple knights, and a large number of church priests.

Although the Latoria family is one of the top families in the Holy Kingdom of Milis, their combat strength shouldn't be that great.

As a noble family, they certainly had guards, but in terms of both strength and number, they were only of average quality.

The only people in the entire Latorrea family who are somewhat presentable are his mother Claire and his sister Therese.

However, as far as Senis knew, her mother and sister, along with the family guards, were already struggling to protect the Latorea family mansion from the invading beast tide, let alone have any strength left to protect others.

"The Church? What's the point of going to the Church now? No, you should say that the Church is basically dead in name only, since even the Pope is dead."

The remaining Templar Knights and Priests were either killed in battle or had joined the rebels; the Church had no power to protect us.

Upon hearing the words of these citizens of Milis, Senis and the others present immediately showed expressions of surprise. Cliff, from their group, even lost control and rushed forward, grabbing the other man by the collar and demanding, "What do you mean by 'the Church exists in name only'? And what's this about the Pope being dead!"

When Cliff was sent to the Lanoa Magic Academy by the old Pope, he already knew that there was internal strife within the Order. However, his grandfather said that the problem was not serious and told him to focus on his studies at the academy.

But Cliff never imagined that his grandfather, who was so powerful, would die at the hands of the rebels.

"Who exactly are you people? You can't be from the Holy Kingdom of Milis, can you?"

Seeing the agitated Cliff, the passerby whose collar he had grabbed also began to show fear on his face.

They initially thought Rudy and his companions were ordinary adventurers, but now it seems that's not the case at all.

If you think about it carefully, Rudy and his group's actions are quite strange. The Holy Kingdom of Milis is so dangerous right now, what kind of adventurers would come here at this critical juncture?

Furthermore, given their heightened emotions upon hearing about the Pope's death and the Church's affairs, it's easy to guess that this group came prepared.

"Could you please elaborate on the matters concerning the Church and the Pope, as well as the Latoria family?"

Don't worry, we are not suspicious people. Although we are outsiders, there are people from the Holy Kingdom of Milis among us.

He is my friend Cliff, and he is so emotional because he is the grandson of the old Pope, while this is my mother Senis, the second daughter of the La Torreia family.

Seeing the agitated Cliff, Rudy quickly stepped forward to calm him down and began to explain in a gentle tone.

Upon hearing that Cliff and Senis were respectively the Pope's grandson and the second young lady of the Latorea family, the citizens of Milis showed surprise. After a moment of contemplation, they began to explain what had happened.

About two days ago, a massive beast tide came from all directions and broke through the defenses of the capital city of Milis. After a large number of magical beasts entered the city, they began a merciless slaughter.

Faced with the terrifying monsters, the powerless followers of Milis, just like Senis before them, naturally thought of seeking refuge in a powerful church.

However, when they finally arrived at the church, they found that unrest had also broken out there.

The rebels secretly attacked the old pope, even causing his death. Without the pope, the "Papal Faction" was no match for the rebels and was quickly expelled from the church.

Even if the rebels were to take power, the people of Milis wouldn't care too much, since they all worshipped the god Milis, and who became pope wouldn't make much difference to them.

To the surprise of the people of Milis, after the rebels took control of the church, although they offered to protect them, they demanded that they change their faith from "God of Milis" to some "human god".

The Holy Kingdom of Milis has worshipped the god Milis since ancient times, and the entire nation consists of devout Milis followers.

How can a belief held since childhood be changed so easily? Besides, they had never even heard of this so-called "human god".

For this reason, many Milis believers who were unwilling to change their faith eventually chose to flee with the defeated "Papal faction," while a small number of them chose to change their faith in order to survive.

As for the Latorea family, it has been circulating among many survivors in the city recently.

It is said that before the beast tide arrived, the great goddess Milis sensed that her devout followers might encounter this disaster, so she sent a blond boy to this religious kingdom as her god's agent.

The "Messenger of God" possessed unparalleled power. It is said that when the beast tide arrived, the Messenger of God, relying on himself and his sword, along with magic comparable to that of a god, instantly froze the beast tide in one direction.

Furthermore, they heard that the "messenger of God" was a beautiful boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old, who not only had golden hair as dazzling as the sun, but also a long sword as brilliant as ice crystal.

The "Messenger of God" possesses unparalleled combat prowess; whether in swordsmanship or magic, he can annihilate hundreds of magical beasts with a mere gesture.

In addition to his unparalleled combat prowess, the "Messenger of God," as the agent of the god Milis, also possesses unparalleled healing magic. It is said that as long as a being has a breath left, under the Messenger of God's magic, it can be restored to its original state in a few moments.

Because the "messenger of God" seems to be a member of the Latorrea family, they are currently stationed at Latorrea's mansion. Also because of the existence of the "messenger of God," that area is practically the only paradise in the capital at present.

These citizens of Milis talked a lot, and Rudy and his companions gleaned a considerable amount of information from their words.

First of all, it seems that the old pope of the Milis Order is indeed dead now, given the large number of eyewitnesses at the time, and the fact that the Church is now likely occupied by the so-called "rebels".

Then there's the "human god" that appears in the story! When Cliff and Alina Lizzie heard this word, their reactions were normal, but when the Grellat family heard the name "human god," their pupils contracted and their expressions became dangerous!

"Paul, what's going on? Do you know this so-called 'god-man'?"

Seeing the expressions on the Grellat family's faces, Alina Lige immediately sensed something and asked a question.

"It's more than just knowing them, they're practically mortal enemies of our family!"

Although we never saw this so-called "god-man," another child in our family died because of his schemes.

Hearing Paul's words, Alina and the others were stunned. Although they did not know the specific details of the matter, they could tell from the attitude of the Grellat family that this "human god" was an exceptionally dangerous and cunning being.

"Cliff, calm down. I know you're extremely angry about your grandfather's death."

But that's precisely why you need to calm down now. I've dealt with this guy before, and his greatest skill is amplifying other people's emotions and exploiting their psychological vulnerabilities to manipulate them and turn them into his puppets.

The fact that a deity is involved in this matter changes its nature. If we are too careless, not only will we fail to avenge ourselves, but we might also become his playthings.

"Perhaps you haven't realized how dangerous this so-called 'human god' is, or you don't know who he is. Let me give you a little background information."

The "human god" we speak of is someone who once plotted to kill the first Dragon God and his four subordinate Dragon Kings, destroying the four planes of beast, sea, sky, and demon.

The current Dragon God Orsteed's mortal enemy, who has gone through more than two hundred reincarnations in his pursuit of the God of Man, but has failed each time.
